Developer's guide (wazo-confgend)

wazo-confgend uses drivers to implement the logic required to generate configuration files. It uses stevedore to do the driver instantiation and discovery.

Plugins in wazo-confgend use setuptools' entry points. That means that installing a new plugin to wazo-confgend requires an entry point in the plugin's setup.py.

Drivers

Driver plugin are classes that are used to generate the content of a configuration file.

The implementation of a plugin should have the following properties.

It's __init__ method should take one argument
It should have a generate method which will return the content of the file
A setup.py adding an entry point

The __init__ method argument is the content of the configuration of wazo-confgend. This allows the driver implementor to add values to the configuration in /etc/wazo-confgend/conf.d/*.yml and these values will be available in the driver.

The generate method has no argument, the configuration provided to the __init__ should be sufficient for most cases. generate is called within a scoped_session of xivo-dao, allowing the usage of xivo-dao without prior setup in the driver.

The namespaces used for entry points in wazo-confgend have the following form:

wazo_confgend.<resource>.<filename>

as an example, a generator for sip.conf would have the following namespace:

wazo_confgend.asterisk.sip.conf

Example

Here is a typical setup.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from setuptools import setup
from setuptools import find_packages


setup(
    name='Wazo confgend driversample',
    version='0.0.1',

    description='An example driver',

    packages=find_packages(),

    entry_points={
        'wazo_confgend.asterisk.sip.conf': [
            'my_driver = src.driver:MyDriver',
        ],
    }
)

With the following package structure:

    .
    ├── setup.py
    └── src
        └── driver.py

driver.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

class MyDriver(object):

    def __init__(self, config):
        self._config = config

    def generate(self):
        return 'Hello World!'

To enable this plugin, you need to:

Install the plugin with:
```
python setup.py install
```
Create a config file in /etc/wazo-confgend/conf.d:
```
plugins:
  asterisk.sip.conf: my_driver
```
Restart wazo-confgend:
```
systemctl restart wazo-confgend.service
```
